Trying to wrap your head around the European Accessibility Act regulation? I get it. We're officially within 12 months of the June 2025 deadline though. 😬 So we put together a guide on how that impacts your company (hint: likelihood is high if you're reading this), all you need to comply, and how Stark helps get you there.
📔 New Guide: Navigating accessibility compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) - What is it & who does it apply to - How to ensure you comply - How Stark enables your org to set up a proactive, continuous, scalable, accessibility workflow https://lnkd.in/epitvQuy #EAA #EuropeanAccessibilityAct #DigitalAccessibility

There's so much I agree with here. Such a win seeing that Maven's new Future of Design track includes applied accessibility — courtesy of Soren Hamby, a Stark community member and overall champ.
The best designers I’ve worked with are “full stack.” And I’m starting to believe this is where the entire design profession is going: If you're in the top 10%, specializing in your craft will still be highly valuable. But we’re also seeing more designers broaden their skillset – learning to prototype, becoming "design engineers,” mastering product strategy, and doubling down on their business acumen. This might explain why Maven’s top converting category is design! What’s driving this? Unfortunately, tech downsizing particularly targeted designers. As companies get smaller, designers must do more with less, which means having more diverse skills. Simultaneously, AI is enabling designers to dramatically increase their output. With new tools making it easier to create high fidelity work, the ceiling for excellence in design is only getting higher. That’s why today, we're launching a dozen new courses for designers: leaders of the craft sharing their experience on how to develop your skills and grow your cross-functional influence. 💫 Introducing... The Future of Design collection: https://lnkd.in/eb8nqrMN. Some highlights: - UI Engineering 101 for Designers with Derek Briggs (Clerk) and Mariana Castilho (Vercel) - Become an AI Product Designer with Maheen Sohail (Meta) - Growth Design Essentials: Crafting Successful Products with Fonz Morris (Netflix) - Startup Design Leadership Accelerator with Kevin Yien (Stripe, Mutiny, Square) - Master Your Product Design and UX Research Job Search with Lena Kul (Miro) - Strategy and Influence for Product Designers with Dan Winer (PandaDoc) - DesignOps Fundamentals with Adam Fry-Pierce (Google) and Salomé Mortazavi (SiriusXM) - Unlocking Strategic Innovation through Effective Design Leadership with Kevin Bethune (Invoy, BCG) PS. What skill do you think will be most important for designers to learn in the next 5 years? Share what you’re seeing in the comments!

Very very proud moment when your former designer goes on to build his own startup (Divinate), then gives a massive talk at Figma's Config focused on accessibility and the work we do (and he helped shape!) at Stark. Well done, Tregg Frank! Love the way our worlds still collide. https://lnkd.in/eR4u2txB
